I'm really worried because for the last couple of weeks, I've been experiencing this burning sensation and pain right in the middle of my chest, and I'm also feeling pain in my right shoulder and just below it. My ECG and troponin levels are completely normal, so I'm not sure what else it could be. I'm taking medication for acid reflux, but I'm still feeling pain and a sense of fullness in my chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition to the medication you are already taking for acid reflux, I recommend adding a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to help further reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. You can also consider taking an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief of heartburn. It's important to avoid trigger foods that may worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Additionally, elevating the head of your bed while sleeping and avoiding lying down right after meals can also help. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, further evaluation by a gastroenterologist may be necessary.

View allI'm concerned about my stage 2 non-alcoholic fatty liver. I've been reading about Liv 52 tablets by Himalaya and was wondering if they're effective for this condition. Also, how many should I be taking each day, and is it better to have them on an empty stomach or after meals?
Liv 52 might help support liver health, but it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for Stage 2 NAFLD. Focus on lifestyle changes, and consult your doctor to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. If you decide to take Liv 52, follow the recommended dosage of 2 tablets twice daily after meals, but only after getting your doctor's approval

I'm a bit worried after my recent full body checkup. The results showed I have Hepatomegaly with Grade 2 fatty liver. My doctor gave me some medicines to help treat it. But when I looked online, I found posts saying it's best to stop taking medicines since they can harm the liver. I'm confused about whether to trust the medication or follow the advice I saw online. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
If you are a drinker, stop any and all alcohol consumption immediately. Grade 2 fatty liver is reversible through commonly used medication and lifestyle changes. There are liver protective drugs like UDCA which should be started under the supervision of a specialist.

I've been dealing with this gastritis issue and taking Pan D twice a day along with Sucrafil as prescribed. It's been about a week now, but ever since I've started this medication, my heart randomly starts beating really fast at times. I did an ECG and an echocardiogram and they both came back normal. I never experienced this before getting gastritis, so I'm wondering if this is linked to the acidity or the meds I'm taking. Any idea what might be causing this?
Yes thats due to Gastritis,follow your doctors advice and consume bland diet with time you will be fine
